TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize existing clay mineralogical and geochemical data from similar to 1500 samples from the seafloor and surrounding rivers, deepwater mooring observation results, and high resolution glacial-cyclic clay mineralogy records from six high-quality sediment cores.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple geodynamic model was proposed for the transition from subduction to collision in the early Miocene (9 Ma) by the Philippine Sea plate moving at a 5.6 cm/year velocity with respect to Eurasia.

Neotectonic architecture of Taiwan and its implications for future large earthquakes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a neotectonic map of Taiwan based on structural and geomorphic expression of active faults and folds both in the field and on shaded relief maps prepared from a 40m resolution digital elevation model, augmented by geodetic and seismologic data.

Temporal and spatial records of active arc-continent collision in Taiwan: A synthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for predicting the evolution of arc-continent collision through space and time, which is based on the geologic records in Taiwan and can be used to reconstructing and predicting the history of collision through time and space.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights on 3-D plates interaction near Taiwan from tomography and tectonic implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used tomographic results to trace the South China Sea and Philippine Sea subducting slabs, south and northeast of Taiwan along the Manila and Ryukyu trenches, respectively.

Tectonics of the Indonesian region
TL;DR: The plate-tectonic evolution of a region can be deduced by following the as-sumptions that subduction zones are characterized by ophiolite, melange, wildflysch, and blueschist, that intermediate and silicic calc-alkaline igneous rocks form above Benioff zones, and that truncations of orogenic belts indicate rifting as mentioned in this paper.

A model for the motion of the Philippine Sea Plate consistent with NUVEL‐1 and geological data
TL;DR: In this article, angular velocity vectors of the Philippine Sea (PH) plate relative to the adjacent major plates, Eurasia (EU) and Pacific (PA), and the smaller Caroline (CR) plate are investigated.

Geotectonic evolution of late Cenozoic arc-continent collision in Taiwan
TL;DR: The active collision between the Luzon arc and the Asian continent in the Taiwan area is investigated in terms of plate kinematics and geological records in this article, where the collisional history can be interpreted from the stratigraphy of the Coastal Range and the Western Foothills and from the diastrophism of the Central Range of Taiwan.
